Shaq to Celtics

[Andrew]

That's the current rumour that's picking up steam, at least. Bill Simmons tweeted a couple of thoughts on the matter.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JaoSming]

i thought that was rumored before we got O'Neal (get it?)

[Andrew]

What better way to celebrate the Irish connection than to stock up on O'Neals?

[Jackal]

Fuck Shaq, what a douche.

How the fuck do you decide to go to the Celtics. Seriously.

[Andrew]

Close to becoming official. It also mentions that Kendrick Perkins could be out until January following his knee surgery, so it makes sense that the Celtics are stocking up on big men.

This blog has thrown the moniker "The Big Shamrock" out there, probably only a matter of time before that catches on.

[Laxation]

They do need a big lumbering old bloke since Sheed retired.
A good signing I reckon.

[Axel The Great]

They get a lumbering old bloke with zero mid-range game.

[shadowgrin]

Since when did Shaq have a mid-range game?

[Axel The Great]

Never.

[shadowgrin]

So what's the point of this one...

They get a lumbering old bloke with zero mid-range game.

Since it's pretty much obvious they didn't get Shaq for his midrange game.

[Axel The Great]

Because Laxation said something about Sheed that I guess was comparing him to Shaq (lumbering old bloke), so I just added in "lumbering old bloke, with 0 mid-range game."

[Laxation]

Id swap a big man with no mid-range or inside game for a big man with an inside game.
Sheed stank.

Brilliant. Pick something iconic related to the team or area in which the team plays, preface it with "The Big", and possibly change any syllables ending in 'ack' to 'shaq'. Instant Shaq-nickname, no creativity.

Damn! Celtics bigs just got scarier. The original big 3 and now 2 big O'neals. This is going to be one sick team considering their dirtiness under the paint. And our season opener is against these nasty Celtics.

Seems like Boston is a place that attracts only old people though. No wonder Sauru is a happy man there. I bet their stadium is most wheelchair friendly.

[Jackal]

You keep referring to both the Celtics and the Lakers as "dirty" teams, no wonder everyone agrees Wade flopped his way to a ring.

Play like a man, faggot. It's what seperates champions from chumps.

[Martti.]

Not sure if he's comfortable coming off the bench, cause once Perkins back he's sitting his ass down. They have a deep frontcourt with KG, Perk, O'Neals and Big Baby, so looking forward to their season-opener against Miami.

[Sauru]

ahh the celtics the retirement home of the nba

[shadowgrin]

The season hasn't even started yet and ZanShadow is already preparing an excuse when his team loses.

"Oh no! The [insert team name that will eliminate Heat in the postseason here] played dirty that's why they won and the Heat lost!"

Pathetic.

I bet their stadium is most wheelchair friendly.

Does the Heat stadium have mattresses near the baseline to protect Wade when he flops after every shot/dunk/layup?

its official, and they just said the Big Shamrock on ESPN too


Shadow....stop making me change my sig

[rise]

I preferred the Badger joke.

[NovU]

Hahahahaha. Good ones, shadowgrin and sauru. Loving it...

[Sauru]

celtics may be dirty but they earned the championship, they didnt flop their way to it screwing dirk in the process (btw alot more dirty teams than celtics and lakers)

[shadowgrin]

Malone and Stockton are more dirty than KG or Fisher.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

Haha BigBaby 2 in Boston

[Lean]

What is this i dont even

Whatever happened to Sheed anyway? I thought he "took back" his retirement schtick?

Also, this is the only O'Neal left for the Celtics to sign:
